If anyone loses a love one, and especially a husband or even a child, you have those questions and sometimes you question God at times.
But you also come to the conculsion in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for the good--we don't understand it, but God has his plans and he's working behind the scenes to encourage to understand why.[/font]
Excellent post and exactly right. We'll find out all the why's when we get home. Until then we just have to trust.
And I agree with the others that it's perfectly OK to ask why.

I think its built into our nature to ask why.
God may or may not answer. But I wouldn't believe wondering (or questioning) why would be a sin or incorrect.

You nailed it. I've ask God why on many things. Most I get is silence.
Out of the blue I received what I had been praying about and discovered
'why".
Had it been earlier, it would have been disaster, and not the blessing it was (and still is)

Isn't it amazing how God is always right on time even when we think he's running late?

I love all of this disaster talk.
Sorry, couldn't help it.
